Dana Hills Loop Trail

Mission Viejo, California 92675

Climb up Via Entrada and then veer left on an unnamed fire road into Dana Hills. Crank up to the ridge and bear right, following a semicircular path above the gated community of San Juan Hills. When you reach the west side of the rooftops (and before the road heads down), turn left on another unnamed fire road. There are plenty of riding options here, including some fun singletrack. Another left turn puts you on a ridge above a reservoir. Follow a singletrack, and then a dirt road, counterclockwise along the ridge above the reservoir. Drop down to another singletrack and traverse the hillside above the reservoir. A final steep drop leads back to the first fire road you rode after Via Entrada. Continue west and downhill. A final singletrack drops down to La Novia Avenue. A short ride on the street completes the loop.
